A Palm Beach County Disaster Assessment and Resource Tool App

Palm Beach County Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management is introducing a new smartphone application. The app is called PBC DART (Palm Beach County Disaster Assessment and Resource Tool).

PBC DART provides residents with information and tools used to prepare for a disaster with the ability to report damage to their home or business in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Damage reports will help emergency managers get an immediate Countywide “picture” within hours of a disaster event to help prioritize response efforts. The application is an additional outreach method to keep the public safe and informed before, during, and after disasters.
